First consideration is that I see no reason to doubt any shown. The question I have is the $695 on the owl which seems quite high for the era of...
Famous hoard? Someone post a lint to any reports or analyses of this hoard other than offers to sell slabbed coins from it. Hype was the word...
No, all I have is a fuzzy print attached to the term paper (which I have not seen for a while so it is some box in the attic. I did not start...
My o mint Titus is rather different in portrait, later, counterclockwise and has the o on obverse. [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] My Aurelius as Caesar drachm of Alexandria would be quite a coin if only the portrait had a nose.
[ATTACH] I know way too little to comment on where the annulet mint may have been located but the attribution to Ephesus seems odd since there...
Today's offering of new photos are the three coins I retained when I sold my collection in 1974. In a fit of poverty I sent all my coins to Joel...
I bought mine from a CT member here. I sold my previous one when I got this. They exist. [ATTACH] Don't forget they come in Gallus, too. His...

A serious question for our more recent converts from the modern hobby: Assume I have two MS coins of the same type but one was MS61 and the other...
How many of us actually have seen a coin for which this is not true? Even those beautiful Boscoreales aureii get 'details' for being located in...
In keeping with my desire to finish this year (or perhaps this life?) with no more coins than I own today I won't be having as many new purchases...
I was required to read some of the "Physics" in college and did not understand it well. There is easier Greek. Later I was introduced to the...
